This is Penny. She came up with her own trick. Really hopes you like it, and will repeat it as many times as necessary until you acknowledge that you do. 14/10 (IG: pennycorgipoo)

This is Nala. She thought your face had disappeared. Turns out it was behind your hands the whole time. Incredible. 12/10 (IG: goldennala27)

This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

The greatest Mexico v England tweets you will ever read. 😂 As you were.

The most massive storm last night scared me out of my wits. A house was struck close by - a few minutes walk from me and other strikes in Hastings and Eastbourne. Luckily it seems that no one was hurt in them but buildings very badly damaged.

On #InternationalBathDay we thought we'd share this little gem with you. Known as the Wundabath and dating between the wars, it's designed to be portable (!), although we're not quite sure how the plumbing works. It's definitely only for children or people who are on the more petite side!

I’ve now been keeping my reading list since June 2007, 19 years! In that time I’ve read 1123 books. They cover fiction, non-fiction, auto/biography, classics, literature, fantasy, crime, comedy. Other than horror (I’m a wuss) they cover most genres. I’ve read some amazing books in that time.

Thames Water asks millions to stop using hosepipes to save water. Get a few days sunshine and infrastructure can't cope. TW built no new reservoir since 1989, loses 570m - 592m litres of water daily to leaky pipes Sewage dumped in rivers. Customers fleeced. TW still trades.

Royal Mail privatisation Only 75.7% of UK first class mail delivered on time. Regulator keeps reducing targets, Royal Mail still doesn't meet them. Price of 1st class postage £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. We pay more for less.

Ah yes, what a deeply un-Irish practice, for deeply religious women to wear full-body plain-coloured attire covering their whole body except their face...

This horse has a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. Watch as it teases the cat and then puts on an innocent face when caught in the act.

Vaccine and science denialism has deadly consequences.

That’s the most cat thing ever, with sass. 😹

Why are so many people so focussed on hate? I just don’t understand. We are all on this earth together.

Deeply pathetic that BBC is reporting this as a Reform power struggle rather than explaining that Reform's policies would require deporting people -including pensioners - who have lived and worked here legally for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tony Blair tells Radio 4 that the £257 million his institute has received from a billionaire AI investor has absolutely nothing to with his lobbying for the AI industry

Rishi Sunak tells Radio 4 that "AI is changing every aspect of our economy and our lives, and if I was back in office and looked at my diary and where I was going to spend my time, I would spend it on that" At no point does he or the BBC mention the £373,000 given to him every year by an AI company

Judge Nicholas Rowland has given three boys who gang raped two teenage girls, filmed the attacks and put them online a totally lenient and pathetic sentence. They have been given no custodial time at all. What the heck kind of message is this sending out? 😡

A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

British MAGA 🤢 As an American living in Britain for the last 24 years, I have had to witness from afar the fall of my own country to the far right. I can't stand the idea of having to live through it in my adopted country.

All that kicking is utterly unnecessary. Hes down. Rendered neutral. Hes arrested. You dont need to do this.
